While Sling does not offer a free test version these days, since March Madness takes longer than her standard version, it is a solid option anyway to catch most of the games in the tournament. Emphasis on the most, because one large Blind spot for noose is that it does not wear CBS.

Apart from $ 48 for your first month Sling Orange and Blue + the Sports Extra add-on you can catch all games on TBS, TNT, TNT, Trutv, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPNEWs. This means that you will catch many of the men's and women's games this month.
